Swords-Smith

Swords-Smith is a breath of fresh air in the crazy kaleidoscope of Williamsburg, Brooklyn. Juxtaposing modern design with the space's industrial roots, the racks inside the airy former factory are naturally lit by the heavenly skylights above. Co-owners Briana Swords and R. Smith established their eponymous shop in 2013 and have filled it with unique and striking mens and womenswear that is distinctive and different from what you find in most other clothing stores. Swords-Smith takes pride in carrying fashion-forward and interesting pieces and has cultivated a consumer following of creative professionals who typically seek out the shop for something special. At any given time 80+ designers are represented, from super local to far-flung international, offering a range of clothing, accessories and lifestyle products. Swords and Smith actively seek brands that are doing innovative work, and the common thread throughout the shop is design drawn from an inspiration-driven creative process. The result is breaking from the cookie cutter mold of contemporary fashion and finding something new, unexpected and exciting. Show lessRead moreAly
